Born at a private clinic on December 30, the Honourable Henry Thynn - a second grandson for the 7th Marquess of Bath - will soon be tucked up safely in his ancestral home, the magnificent Longleat House, Wiltshire. The miracle that is modern medicine means Henry is almost certainly the first member of the British aristocracy to have been born by surrogacy, in this case using one of his mother's eggs and his father's sperm, a process overseen more than 5,000 miles away from rural Wiltshire in the pristine surroundings of a Californian medical facility.

Atlanta Hammond, from Braintree, Essex, says she was subjected to daily physical abuse, banned from socialising with friends and forced to quit her job by her ex-boyfriend. And when the mother-of-one (pictured left) plucked up the courage to leave him, he threatened to publish a video of himself raping her while she slept and post it online. The 21-year-old, who has a two-year-old son, says her former partner exerted control over her from the time they met in 2013, when she was just 18. She said Halil Cetinkayali, 30, made her 'feel like a princess' - before things quickly turned sour and the abuse became more frequent. Sick Halil (pictured inset) even boasted of the assaults online, boasting pictures of her injuries on his Facebook page where he also admitted to cheating on her (shown right).

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - and Linda from Warwick is no exception. When she found out her partner Graham had been cheating on her, Linda ordered dozens of laminated posters  telling him he was dumped - and had them plastered them all over Warwick town centre. On the posters, which started to appear around the city yesterday evening, Linda also claims to have thrown Graham's car keys in the canal, maxed out his credit cards - and changed the locks to their house.

The food writer famed for her Deliciously Ella books has branded the 'clean eating' movement she once led as 'dirty' after a shocking investigation exposed dangerous false claims by self-appointed nutrition experts. Ella Mills - who was Ella Woodward before she married - has written widely on the benefits of cutting out meat, dairy and refined sugar. But now she has distanced herself from the clean-eating food gurus who make claims for which there is no scientific evidence - including conning cancer sufferers into believing that they can be cured by fad diets.

A British great grandmother has been named as one of the five people shot dead in the Fort Lauderdale Airport attack (shown bottom inset). Olga Woltering, 84, was killed when a gunman opened fire on passengers as they collected their baggage inside an airport terminal in Florida. Mrs Woltering (pictured left), originally from Ipswich, was making her way to a cruise as to celebrate the 90th birthday of her husband Ralph (pictured together, right) when she was killed. Her church in Georgia, where she lived, posted a tribute to Olga, praising her 'loving' and 'caring nature'. Posting to its website, the Transfiguration Catholic Church said: 'Olga was so charming, calling everybody "Lovey" or "Love" in her unmistakable British accent.' Esteban Santiago (top inset), a 26-year-old Iraq war veteran, was taken into custody shortly after the shootings and is being held on suspicion of murder.

Rory Nicoll, a music producer, was taking part in the show in a Central Scotland edition of Come Dine with Me when he was suddenly booted off because of 'incidents away from the dinner party'.

James Harries, now known as Lauren, first sprang into the public eye as a precocious 12-year-old antiques expert called James (pictured left), who famously appeared on the Antiques Roadshow and Wogan. Dressed in prissy velvet suits and bow ties, he looked and sounded like a polytechnic lecturer in a young boy's body. That was in the late 1980s - and the intervening years have not been easy. Bullying and intimidation at school led to depression, agoraphobia, a nervous breakdown and three suicide attempts before Lauren (pictured right) underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2002, which was, she says, 'like being reborn'.

Victor Spirescu was the first person off the plane when Britain lifted visa restrictions on Romanians and Bulgarians three years ago. He was welcomed by Labour MP Keith Vaz (pictured left together) when he arrived from Romania, and declared he wanted to 'work, earn money and go home'.But one woman who helped Mr Spirescu after he arrived in the UK says her kindness has been repaid with subterfuge, debts and excuses. On one occasion, Mr Spirescu even told her that women were not his equal (inset). Single mother Anne Brown took Mr Spirescu into her home after her daughter Zoe (pictured right together) met him last summer. He said he had nowhere to live, having been kicked out by his girlfriend - Romanian-Cypriot Suzana Mates, also 22.

George Michael's boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz (inset), was born into a poor but loving family in an unremarkable single-storey house located in a ramshackled Brisbane suburb (left). However, after deciding to leave the family home to 'seek fame', he moved to Sydney then London to fulfil his aspirations. Mr Fawaz, a model-turned-stylist, then met the pop star and the pair shacked up in George's three stunning properties, including an £18 million Highgate mansion (top right) and a 16th Century cottage in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire (bottom right).

Bright Lights: Starring Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher premiered Saturday on HBO, illustrating the tender relationship between mother and daughter Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, who died within a single day one another last month. The documentary deals with the beautiful, sometimes-tragic relationship the Hollywood lifers shared, and how they coped with fame and the spotlight through multiple decades - and levels of the ever-fleeting commodity that is celebrity. In addition to the mother-daughter pair, the doc turned its attention to key figures in the true Hollywood story, including Carrie's father, singer Eddie Fisher; brother, filmmaker Todd Fisher; and lifelong friend, After Hours actor Griffin Dunne.

Mocked for his mental capacity. Scalp cut repeatedly. Tied up. Forced to drink toilet water. By four black kids who made him kiss the floor and shout 'f*** white people' and 'f*** Trump'. I imagine these parents today, shocked into silence. Struck mute by the horror that everything they thought they knew last week is no longer true. That they were wrong to trust. Wrong to believe there is good in everyone. Wrong to think everything would be ok. It wasn't. Wondering if they will ever be able to talk about anything else, ever again. The four young friends suspected of torturing the special needs teenager in the Facebook live video are pictured: Bottom right Brittany Covington, 18, and her sister Tanisha Covington, 24, top right. Tesfaye Cooper, 18, bottom left, and Jordan Hill, 18, top left, who knew the victim (pictured left in the video).

Skyler McKenzie (left), of Tonbridge, Kent, suffers from neurofibromatosis, which causes a large number of tumours to appear throughout her body. She was diagnosed at just four weeks old after doctors spotted that she was struggling to eat. Tumours in her throat were found to be blocking her vocal cords, stopping her swallowing. Elsewhere, tumours on her spine were affecting her mobility. But since Skyler embarked on a revolutionary clinical trial five months ago, the growths have shrunk, allowing her to speak, eat and take her first steps. Her mother Jes (right) has spoken of her delight at hearing her daughter's first words.

Not even sharks are safe from shark attacks.  Footage posted by a sport fishing company in Exmouth, WA shows a large hammerhead shark chomping on a whaler shark.  The hammerhead is seen repeatedly striking the whaler, which has swallowed the fisherman's bait, and the bigger fish eventually eats half of the smaller one. 'Mother nature takes no prisoners,' said Wes Jones of Peak Sportfishing. 'It was in Exmouth, in the gulf, and we were shark fishing when the hammerhead just came up,' Mr Jones told Daily Mail Australia

Andrew Bottomley (left) owns Beltingham House in Northumberland - visited by Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother (top right) - and it has just gone on the market for £1.35million. The house (bottom right) was built in 1760 mainly from Northumberland stone, which, says Andrew, 'was probably taken out of Hadrian's Wall, just over a mile down the road - it was common practice with houses in the area'. At the front of the house is a cottage garden and summerhouse; at the rear, trees shelter a large lawn. A path leads through an orchard to the original walled garden and an arbour. A woodland walk leads to one of two paddocks, both let to a local farmer. In all, the grounds cover almost five acres.
